Artist Blacksmith Sculpture: The Art of Natural Metalwork

I bought this on a whim. I like metal work and was curious. It turned out that I like this man's nature based works, very well done with lots of good pictures and technical recommendations on technique. As in the front picture, he does a lot of animals, which I also like. I am pleased with the purchase.

Welding is a hobby of mine and I always have my eye out for new ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed this book looking at all the beautiful metal pieces that I have never seen before. Not sure I can duplicate any but liked it so much I'm giving a welding friend a copy.

I got this book as inspiration for my husband. It is definitely that. I wish it might have been a little longer and the kindle version more magnified for easier viewing.

True craftsman both metal and words. Pleasing to eye and cerebellum . Work very linear, flows so elegantly across the page.

David Freedman has written a couple of articles for the O&MM Fabricator magazine. His descriptive writing and talent in the metals industry is astonishing. I recommend reading anything David Freedman writes!

Who knew that blacksmiths can create such amazing art? I would be pleased to have many of these pieces in my garden.

Excellent product, was a gift

Not what I was expecting per most of the reviews. While the pieces photographed are interesting the photography is poor. The paper quality and overall presentation of the book is not great. I’m hopeful the recipient of it finds value in the text.

Good

Wide variations of projects

Beautiful book and wonderful to hear the inner thoughts of an artist and fabricator with a natural instinct to give back to the land and integrate this into his artwork. It's inspiring and encourages me to explore my own relationship with the land. The settings are breathtaking and I'll have it on my list to visit some of the public sculptures.

Not very informative

The title says it all, I didn't know metal could be made to look like that!Enduring art that fits the landscape, it really is a book to treasure.Beautifully written and illustrated throughout with stunning photography.Truly inspirational!
